Shotgun Sticks FAQs

What are shotgun sticks made out of?

Our range of shotgun sticks are made from high-strength, electrical-grade fiberglass or Epoxiglas® to ensure durability and insulation when working with live electrical lines. Many also feature components like Lexan® tool heads for added toughness and reliability in the field.

How do I choose the right shotgun stick for my application?

Selecting the right shotgun stick depends on your task, environment, and handling needs. Fixed-length sticks offer solid stability for routine overhead work, while telescoping models provide adjustable reach for versatility in the field. Hinged sticks are ideal when storage space is limited or mobility is key. For tailored advice on shotgun sticks, speak with our expert team.

What accessories pair well with shotgun hot sticks?

The right accessories can make all the difference in the field. We recommend pairing your shotgun hot sticks with a set of our fiberglass ladders for safe, non-conductive elevation when working near live lines, and insulating rubber gloves for essential protection against electrical contact. Together, they enhance safety, efficiency, and peace of mind on every job.
